Global Potentiostat Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Potentiostat Market Analysis

The Global Potentiostat Market is expected to reach a CAGR of 2.7% during the forecast period (2022 - 2027). The use of tiny electrochemical devices has increased quickly in recent decades, with many applications in scientific and consumer products (e.g., batteries, Glucose sensors, and Breathalyzer ). Developing specialized electrochemical devices is, unfortunately, a time-consuming and costly procedure. Depicts a typical electrochemical experiment setup with measurement equipment like a potentiostat. A potentiostat is a device that regulates the voltage across two or more electrodes. It is necessary measurement equipment when employing electroanalytical approaches to examine electrochemical reaction processes. The potentiostat's primary function is to control the electrochemical reaction using either two electrodes (a working electrode and a counter electrode) or three electrodes (a working electrode and a counter electrode).

• The desire to reduce lead time, sample usage, testing costs, and limitations associated with various technologies has resulted in technological innovation and the creation of potentiostat technologies. Because these technologies offer higher sensitivity, accuracy in results, reliability, multi-contaminant and non-targeted screening with low turnaround time, and other benefits, wide-scale adoption of these technologies provides an opportunity for medium- and small-scale laboratories to expand their service offerings and compete with large market players in the industry.
• In February 2021, Biocon Biologics, an arm of biotechnology major Biocon, announced that it had signed a pact with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) to expand access to life-saving cancer biosimilars in over 30 countries in Africa & Asia as a part of the Cancer Access Partnership. Collaborations like this will create an opportunity for the market to grow.
• With the increase in the usage of potentiostat products lot of researchers are in the process of making it, and many researchers are making the product more useful to the customer. For instance, in June 2022, the research titled" Design of smartphone-controlled low-cost potentiostat for cyclic voltammetry analysis based on ESP32 microcontroller" states that electrochemical-based analysis has the advantages of simplicity, resilience, and low maintenance. A low-cost potentiostat, a basic piece of equipment for conducting electrochemistry experiments and analysis, is required to enable small-medium educational units to construct a multipurpose mini-laboratory, especially for educational purposes. Furthermore, developing portable and small devices may be required to attract many technology adopters. The ESP32 microcontroller was used to create eSTAT, a low-cost, smartphone-controlled potentiostat system. The accuracy and error tolerance of the system was assessed using Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) measurements, which were used to evaluate eSTAT's performance. Design of smartphone-controlled low-cost potentiostat for cyclic voltammetry analysis based on ESP32 microcontroller.
• The COVID-19 pandemic has led to enormous disruptions in supply chains across industries globally, due to which many businesses worldwide halted or reduced operations to help combat the spread of the virus. The pandemic has impacted the passive electronic components business, resulting in lower operation levels across the supply chain, particularly at the component and raw material levels. This indicates a drop in sales across several regions and countries.
• The prices of raw materials such as nickel, iron, molybdenum, etc., have recently seen significant changes. With the influence of the pandemic, the global precious metal market is further witnessing adverse effects of supply chain issues, which are further impacting the prices in the market. According to the World Bank, the nickel price stood at USD 18,584.38 in February 2021, which was USD 16,823.04 per metric ton in December 2020. The increase in the raw material cost will hamper production and increase the operational cost.
